Research

Research activity within the Department of Humanities around the areas of History, English, American Studies and Music.

Research in Humanities is divided across three distinct areas:  English (Literature, Language and Linguistics and Creative Writing), History and Music. Alongside these research areas we also have our American Studies research grouping, which draws on researchers from both English Literature and History.

As a Department we pride ourselves on delivering research-informed teaching across all areas, and our research is supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), The British Academy, Leverhulme and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
